Impressive and challenging. I’ve had a really hard time with any sort of mentor or heroes in my life. I’m not exactly sure why. I’ve always been one to think I need to rise up by myself…but as I’ve seen again and again since starting my life design project, it’s experience with other people that really propels success…whether through simply conversation, or networking contacts, or successful people dipping down and lending a hand.

Having said that…here are some names that come to mind as real life mentors to me…most you won’t know…Dan Fredericks, Tim Westergrin, Dominick Mationi, Tim Ferriss, Dave Walsh, CS Lewis, Bruce Lee, Dean Karnazes, Gary Vaynerchuck

Good list, thanks for provoking thought Cody! I never think to write posts like this…

“Wow, Cody” – I’m truly touched by such high recognition amongst your list of All-Stars! You’ve always been a great friend, supporter, and mentor to me as well. I feel privileged for our friendship, and lucky that I met you! You really are living the dream!

Wow Cody!
Awesome post! This is one of my favs by far! I have heard of most of these people. Warren Buffet and Tim Ferris are two of my personal biggest influences and I really look up to what they have achieved

Happy thanksgiving to you if you celebrate it
Cheers!

Great list Cody. I know it was tough to write only a paragraph about the people on this list. Thanks for including me, even though we’re only at the beginning of our journey together. I should also thank you for introducing me this crowd of strong, inspirational people. Congrats on your first year in Thailand. More adventures are coming. Happy Thanksgiving

Excellent list, Cody. Mentors have such a pivotal role in shaping our lives… the ones we pick to emulate have such powerful influence. You’re lucky to have such a supportive Dad, a well.

These are some of the people that helped with my online presence. And yes, I follow yours as well even if I don’t blog about it.

Really fantastic list, Cody.

I think you’ll find that you are on many people’s list, as well (mine included!), even if we all didn’t write a blog about it!
